Dear Sir or Madam:


I have recently moved to the Los Angeles area and am interested in finding employment as a dance instructor. Please see the following resume showing my education, experience and background.

I have been dancing since the age of three and have ten years of dance teaching experience.

I have worked with many different age groups of dancers from very young children to the elderly. I have taught and choreographed all levels from beginner to advanced as well as coached performance/competition teams and directed large-scale performances/recitals. I feel that my skill set would be a lucrative addition to your studio in that I am extremely motivated with a great passion for dance in all forms.

I would really appreciate the opportunity to further discuss my qualifications at a time that is convenient for you. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,


Kira Kruse
